What's Healthier For Me, Almond Milk Or Soy Milk?

 For a number of years, soy milk was extremely popular as a non-dairy alternative to cow's milk. This is especially true for the population who is lactose intolerant or simply has a sensitive gastrointestinal tract. In recent years, the trend has moved towards a different alternative milk source, that of almond milk. So, the question remains, which is the best choice for you?

 Let's start off with why soy milk has fallen out of favor. Typical soy milk has two things going against it, chiefly that it is unfermented and that it is largely produced from GMO (genetically modified organism) seeds. Unfermented soy milk is an endocrine disruptor, meaning that when consumed it can disrupt normal hormonal processes. This is true for both men and women.
